In the morality plays of the late Middle Ages, the seven chief human vices were portrayed by actors. Now artist Joseph Lester has brought these seven outrageous characters to life exclusively for Toscano, in a series of plaques sure to tickle your funny bone! Can’t keep your head out of the fridge? Hang Gluttony in a conspicuous spot nearby as a reminder to shed a few pounds! For parents of teenagers—the gift of Sloth as a wall hanging for Junior’s room is worth hours of nagging! Think twice though before giving Lust to anyone you don’t know very, very well! Cast in quality designer resin for your home and garden.

The perfect addition!
Loved these the minute we saw them! Decided to display them all in one area over our antique bar since at some point or another, each sin fits the bill! Great detail and always a conversation piece. Thanks Design Toscano!

Great addition to my collection of "garden art".
They are a little smaller than they seem in the pic, but I should have just looked at the measurements. They look great randomly placed on deck.

Stands the test of time
I purchased these many years ago and they still look like new. I made a few modifications to them. (painted ) to my likening. One of the reasons for me purchasing them was that you could paint them if you choose to do so. I love them .

AWESOME Pieces
I have looked and "drooled" over the Seven Cardinal Sins Plaques for at least 10 years or longer. How I wished I had ordered these back then. The detail on each plaque is unbelievable. Each expression on the face is priceless. Every time I pass buy them, I have to stop and look and giggle at each one. They are of excellent size. Order these folks........you will not regret it!!

Awesome
These are really the conversation piece. Everyone who sees them are aware of the sins, just never seen them physically represented. The detail is impressive. If you're looking for something unique for your wall, these are perfect.

They keep me in check!
I have all seven sins posted in prominent places throughout my house. Whenever I am feeling-------, I simply look at the sin, and I am instantly put back where I belong!

Joseph Lester possesses the unique ability to combine his two loves of sprites and film. This American sculptor recently shrank a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Sprite that graced a Chicago beer hall in the 1920s. The cubist-style woman, which is more than 5 feet tall and weighs as much as a stove, can be seen at the entrance to Sarah Ann s Original Figurines in the Naper West Plaza in Naperville, Illinois.

Joseph Lester credits his grandfather, Curtis Earl Lester, with planting the creative seed within him. He was a modern-day renaissance man, Joseph says.

I always fiddled with sculpting, says Joseph Lester. I made little figurines and faces my whole life. But I didn t realize I should pursue it until I actually studied film. I appeared as an extra in a couple movies and saw special effects make-up being done. It was then I realized I could combine sculpting and film.

Joseph Lester started by sculpting busts of Mark Twain and Alfred Hitchcock for his father, who was amazed. He has since moved into the contemporary and mystical. Joseph Lester s credits include spiritual-themed wall friezes representing the seven deadly sins, a series of green men and gargoyle bookends, and a set of pumpkin heads with grotesque human faces. His works are sold across the country and Europe exclusively through Design Toscano.
